New YORK, July S.-The Sun this morn
ing prints the full text of the original conf
Dental statement Of stock contracts made
| for the Leayenwarth, Pawnee & Western
Railroad Company by its agents, General j.
| C. Stone and Thomas Ewing, Jr., to secure
the ratification of the Delaware and Potta-
watomie treaties and the passage of the Pa
| cific railway bill of 1862. This memoran-
| dun was produced before the Pacific railway
| investigating committee at Leavenworth on
Wednesday, and was said to have been dis
| covered among General John c. Fremont's
papers at the time of his bankruptcy. Stone
and his associates sold out TO Hallett & Co.
and General Fremont, and the memorandum
was apparently prepared for the information
of the purchasers. The comments opposite
the names on the written listare in the hand
writing of General Stone.
The copy from which the following is
printed has long been in the possession of
the Sun, and the fact thatit is a true tran
script from the original document is certified
by Clark Bill and j. II. Mcdowell. The
typographical arrangementh has been changed
| simply for convenience:
